Paul Winfield, City Confidential narrator
For a big chunk of February 2016 the Risky Fuel household with filled with tales of bucolic towns, charmingly eccentric characters… and murder.
That’s because Sarah went into a deep, dark tele-viewing hole to watch old episodes of the A&E true crime series City Confidential.
Her most important takeaway: That the show’s late narrator Paul Winfield was brilliant.
She wrote about the reasons why in a story for The A.V. Club.

Tami Neilson
One of my favourite musical discoveries from this past year is old tyme country crooner, Tami Neilson.
Neilson, who lives in New Zealand but was originally from Canada, at one point used to have to busk on the streets of Midland, Ontario for food. Knowing Midland as I do, that she could succeed at this is a profound marvel to me.
I wrote a feature story on her for The Bluegrass Situation.
To read about the busking as well as tales of meeting Roy Orbison, not-meeting Johnny Cash and more, click here.

The spectrum
When Sarah occasionally writes about her autistic experiences for various publications there’s usually a virulent response, almost always from the parents of an autistic child, who tries to shout her down by saying she’s a) not autistic enough, so her opinion doesn’t count, or b) glamorizing the whole thing.
This is not true.
She explained why in a piece she wrote for The Establishment.

Elevator door kicking
Sometimes learning the physical skills of a given martial arts isn’t always accompanied by the learning of wisdom.
Sarah wrote about this phenomenon in a story of misadventure for Asian World of Martial Arts.
